SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves of Mississippi signed four law enforcement bills into law. One measure allows deceased first responders' families to receive the responder's salary for 60 days. Another increases payouts from the Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters Death Benefits Trust Fund. House Bill 691 revises the State Board on Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Training, empowering it to investigate misconduct and revoke officer certificates. The bill also requires the governor to make six appointments to the board. Reeves emphasized these changes provide more training, accountability, and unbiased investigations into officer-involved shootings, benefiting the law enforcement community and the public.

SUMMARY: The Cottrell Street Music and Heritage Festival in West Point, Mississippi, recently won the Outstanding New Small Event Under 5,000 at the Mississippi Main Street Awards, bringing renewed attention to a neighborhood that has been revitalizing over the past three years. Historically a bustling hub for the black community from the 1940s to the 1980s, the area declined due to drugs and crime. Mayor Rod Bobo aims to honor its significance as the center of African-American business. Eleven Main Streets from various areas, including Aberdeen and Tupelo, also received awards.
